On one hand Libertarians are stupid, on the other hand as an Anarcho-Syndicalist I wouldn’t shed a single tear over the death of a powerful person (politican or capitalist). Yes I get it shes technically better then Trump but lets be honest, she’s basically Facsism Lite™.

She is to the left of every president in my lifetime, which I get isn’t saying much, but she was the forth most left politician in the senate… Fascism is an inherently right wing ideology, the worst you could call her is moderately authoritarian about a small number of personal freedoms and a ruthless pragmatist about military.

She blindly supports the military, has made no real effort to slow down US funding of genocide, and is willing to compromise with Fascists.

You’re just repeating the same tired old “Liberals are just as bad” bullshit everyone has heard a thousand times already. Not a single point here is true.
I have zero reason to believe she “blindly supports the military”, though I suppose that depends on what level of support for the military you object to.
She has spoken far more directly about a ceasefire and has been more concerned about Palestinian civilians than most other politicians.
As for the “compromises with fascists” claim, that’s just bullshit, and you know it. Yeah, I know, she’s got the endorsement of many old school Republicans, but Trump isn’t an old school Republican It makes sense that more intellectually honest Republicans, even if I disagree with them immensely, aren’t interested in another Trump term.
Unless you have something productive and realistic to recommend on how we both stop fascist accelerationism by defeating Trump, and also gain more progressive leadership than Harris, I honestly don’t want to hear what you have to say, because I have friends and family that might not survive a second Trump term. A couple of people close to me didn’t survive the first Trump term…
(And you can leave third parties at the door, because I’ve already made it clear I don’t want another Trump term)

Geopolitics isn’t a on/off switch with simple choices, every decision you make has lasting impacts all over the world and is also predicated on whether the political capital exists for change. If any us president tried to strip Israel of funding the house and Senate would react to counter that within a week. I’m skeptical that a president can shift Israel policy as quickly as people want, even though I agree that our Israel policy needs to change. People are also not appreciating the fact that she has to become president first either way. No person can become president of the USA on a defund Israel platform.
Kamala Harris is as left as she can be on every issue that politics allows, that signals to me that she is pragmatic, and but would probably move left once elected if she has the political capital to do so. Politicians represent the interests of the country, if she is a leftish authoritarian pragmatist, that’s only because our people are.

Still, she’s the best that you can get.
